Orthopedics and fracture treatment

Cruciate ligament ruptures, fractures or various joint diseases are only some of the challenges from orthopedics and traumatology.


Product Description:

This forceps adopts a toothed design, which is more stable and convenient when clamping bones for fracture reduction.

The bone reduction forceps are used in surgeries conducted for phalangeal percutaneous bones. The precise tip of the instrument manipulates the delicate bones of hands and toes and causes minimal damage to nearby tissues.

Useful for delicate reduction of fragments. Initial reduction is performed with the spinlock flipped out, to give maximum control. Once placed, the spinlock is flipped back in & gently tightened.

There are several different types of fractures. The first sign of an injury is a sudden yelp or cry. Your dog may limp or refuse to bear weight on the affected leg.

Closed fracture: The dog’s bone may be cracked, but the skin is not broken. Swelling of the area, inability to move the limb, and whimpering are all likely clinical signs. Seek veterinary attention and try to keep your pet as still as possible to prevent the fracture from worsening.
Greenstick fracture: In these cases, the bone is cracked but not broken. There may be minor swelling and limping, and you should still see a vet for assessment and appropriate splinting. Improper healing can result in lameness and reduced mobility of the joint.
Compound (Open) fracture: This is the most dangerous type of fracture because the bone has penetrated the skin. This puts the dog at high risk for infection since bacteria can easily enter the open wound. Bleeding, swelling, and visible bone will be seen.
Epiphyseal fracture: These fractures occur most commonly in young dogs because their bones are still growing. The break happens on the soft area of the bone, known as the growth plate. This can result in the affected leg being shorter than the non-affected legs due to a damaged growth plate. Your veterinarian can repair the fracture to allow for minimal growth defects.
If your dog is exhibiting signs of pain, such as limping or vocalizing, it is important to seek immediate veterinary care.
